Note that m< BRP and m<CRQ = 90
And m<BRP + m<BPR = 90
Therefore, m<BPR = m<CRQ
And m< PBR = m <QCR = 90
Therefore, by AA congruency.....ΔPBR is similar to ΔRCQ
Then
PB/BR = RC/CQ
4/ BR = RC/18 but RC = 2BR ...so
4/BR = 2BR/ 18 cross-multiply
4*18 = 2BR^2
72 = 2BR^2 divide both sides by 2
36 = BR^2 take the square root of both sides
6 = BR so.........CR = 2BR = 2*6 = 12
And by the Pythagorean Theorem
PR^2 = (PB^2 + BR^2) = 4^2 + 6^2 = 16 + 36 = 52
Likewise
RQ^2 = (RC^2 + CQ^2) = 12^2 + 18^2 = 144 + 324 = 468
So, again by the Pythagorean Theorem:
PQ^2 = RQ^2 + PR^2
PQ^2 = 468 + 52
PQ^2 = 520 take the square root of both sides
PQ = sqrt(520) = 2sqrt(130) = about 22.8
